7inches podcast interview with Chris at Modern Vinyl

Over the past few episodes Darren and I seem to have been referencing Modern Vinyl almost every show and it was high time we tracked down the founder, Chris to find out how he keeps up with his insane amounts of posts about new releases and the idea that we can all get rich by flipping records on ebay or on websites about vinyl for that matter.

Turns out it's SUPER EASY.

SUBSCRIBE AND LISTEN ON ITUNES.

Picks for this week are the "Sunderberry Dream" Fuzz single from In the Red with a King Crimson cover on the B-Side and Darren picks a black friday Record Store Day split on Subpop with Shearwater covering Rhinnaha and Low covering Frank Ocean’s “Novacane”.

We also start a rumor that Mikal Cronin is Charlie Moonheart aka Charles Moothart? Maybe we're the last to know.

Paw Tracks holiday single

Another year and another onslought of holiday singles....I think the Dave Bazan is still available at Suicide Squeeze, (nope... ed)....I've seen one at Subpop by low then this email from Paw Tracks was in ye olde inbox friday.

this single is now available:
Paw Tracks is planning a holiday seven inch single.
One side is Reverend Green featuring Kria Brekkan and Antony of Antony and the Johnsons. Another side is Abby Portner's (of Rings) new solo project Drawlings. Release date is December 9th. (just ordered this morning.....ed)

The Reverend Green side is an orchestral loop from old vinyl with a duet from I guess is Brad Truax and Kria Brekkan? You know.... this Animal Collective miryad of members I'll never get straight. I guess that's the point. It has the seal of approval from this virtual factory of interesting offerings from who knows who collaborations in paw tracks HQ.
The Drawlings side has samples of horses, sleighbells, other farm animals, wings flapping, all kind of through the panda bear hazy, hyptnotic filter. Lyrics about mom and dad, Christmas, presents...perfect for nights of hot toddys around the fireplace. This seven inch is for all christmas mix cd's you'll have to make for friends to put out by the punch bowl.

Or in the UK It's available from Norman recs or Boomkat where you can hear both tracks....appreciate it.

Amazon says (wtf? amazon?):
This 7-inch comes courtesy of Care Kacky's 45s, the singles division of Paw Tracks. Side A is Reverend Green (a.k.a. Brad Truax of Home and Jah Division). Antony Hagerty (Antony & The Johnsons) along with Kria Brekkan (Mum) lend their distinct voices on this inspirational meditation on self development and the importance of earth awareness. On the flip is the first solo recording of Abby Portner's Drawlings, recorded with the help of Dave Portner (Animal Collective, Terrestrial Tones) and Rusty Santos (The Presence). A haunted children's carol that'll make you glad you're inside by the fire. Limited edition: 1,000 copies.

Low new album 7"

I don't know low. I haven't spent too much time with them, I would occasionally run into reviews mentioning them. They are very vocals heavy and sound a little standard on 'the great destroyer', but on drums and guns there are some new sounds, like with 'breaker' from their myspace page. This is headed in more experimental directions. I should give a couple of these a chance, they seem like they are flying under the radar for whatever reason. Then 'just like christmas' could be a long lost ben gibbard track. Wow, I might need some guidance, just where to start with them.
The track 'when I go deaf' is kicking some serious sonic ass, if you wait for it, it creeps up on you and I'm getting a Dead Man Neil young guitar feel which I really love sometimes. I have to get that soundtrack....just Neil young sitting in a room watching the movie playing some epic cowboy distortion. Explosions could learn something.

Low - Drums And Guns CD/LP (Sub Pop) Dramatic eighth album features new elements (looped vocals, drum machines -- photographs of guns…), yet continues to possess the unique, subtle beauty and power which makes their music so strikingly passionate. Vinyl includes a coupon for a free MP3 download of the entire album. Both versions include a rare and unique bonus 7" featuring "Breaker (Dub Plate)" b/w "Hatchet (Optimimi Version)" -- while supplies last.

Plus there is this seven inch from their site (maybe this is the bonus 7"?):
